Abstract

Cloud-based methods and systems for content sharing are disclosed. In some embodiments, the systems may include one or more processors configured to: receive, from a client device, an instruction for sharing a designated digital asset; retrieve the designated digital asset from a storage device; determine provenance of the designated digital asset based on metadata of the designated digital asset; generate authentication information based on the provenance of the designated digital asset; identify sensitive information in the designated digital asset; generate a redacted version of the designated digital asset by modifying content of the designated digital asset to alter the identified sensitive information; and provide the redacted version and authentication information of the designated digital asset to a recipient of the designated digital asset.

Claims (42)

1. A system for sharing data, comprising:

a memory storing instructions; and

one or more processors in communication with a storage device and configured to execute the instructions to perform operations comprising:

receiving, from a client device, an instruction for sharing a designated digital asset stored in the storage device, the designated digital asset comprising an image;

determining a provenance of the designated digital asset based on metadata of the designated digital asset, the provenance of the designated digital asset including at least one of a source of the designated digital asset, a historical operation performed on the designated digital asset, or a chain of custody of the designated digital asset;

generating authentication information indicating whether the digital asset is authentic based on the provenance of the designated digital asset, wherein the authentication information includes a digital signature of the designated digital asset;

analyzing content of the designated digital asset to identify sensitive information, the analyzing comprising extracting a feature from the image to determine that the feature represents a face of a predetermined person;

generating, based on the analysis of the content, a redacted version of the designated digital asset to obscure the feature in the image; and

providing, to a designated recipient of the designated digital asset, the authentication information and the redacted version of the designated digital asset.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein extracting the feature from the image comprises extracting the feature using a facial recognition algorithm.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein determining that the feature represents the face of the predetermined person comprises comparing the feature to a prestored feature associated with the predetermined person.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein generating the redacted version of the designated digital asset comprises obscuring a representation of the face of the predetermined person in the image.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise providing for display, to the client device, a preview of the redacted version.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving, from the client device, user feedback associated with the preview of the redacted version; and

updating the redacted version of the designated digital asset based on the received user feedback.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the user feedback includes digital annotations on the preview of the redacted version.

8. A computer-implemented method for sharing content, the method comprising:

receiving, from a client device, an instruction for sharing a designated digital asset, the designated digital asset comprising an image;

determining a provenance of the designated digital asset based on metadata of the designated digital asset, the provenance of the designated digital asset including at least one of a source of the designated digital asset, a historical operation performed on the designated digital asset, or a chain of custody of the designated digital asset;

generating authentication information indicating whether the digital asset is authentic based on the provenance of the designated digital asset, wherein the authentication information includes a digital signature of the designated digital asset;

determining that a feature extracted from the image represents a face of a predetermined person;

generating a redacted version of the designated digital asset to obscure the feature in the image; and

providing, to a designated recipient of the designated digital asset, the authentication information and the redacted version of the designated digital asset.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , wherein the feature is extracted from the image using a facial recognition algorithm.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , wherein determining that the feature represents the face of the predetermined person comprises comparing the feature to a stored feature associated with the predetermined person.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , wherein generating the redacted version of the designated digital asset comprises obscuring a representation of the face of the predetermined person in the image.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , further comprising providing for display, to the client device, a preview of the redacted version.

13. The computer-implemented method of claim 12 , further comprising:

receiving, from the client device, feedback associated with the preview of the redacted version; and

updating the redacted version of the designated digital asset based on the feedback.

14. The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , wherein the feedback includes digital annotations on the preview of the redacted version.

15. A system for sharing data, comprising:

a memory storing instructions; and

one or more processors in communication with a storage device and configured to execute the instructions to perform operations comprising:

receiving an instruction for sharing a designated digital asset, the designated digital asset comprising an image;

determining a provenance of the designated digital asset based on metadata of the designated digital asset, the provenance of the designated digital asset including at least one of a source of the designated digital asset, a historical operation performed on the designated digital asset, or a chain of custody of the designated digital asset;

generating authentication information indicating whether the digital asset is authentic based on the provenance of the designated digital asset, wherein the authentication information includes a digital signature of the designated digital asset;

determining provenance information of the designated digital asset;

determining that a feature extracted from the image represents a face of a predetermined person based on a stored feature associated with the predetermined person;

generating a redacted version of the designated digital asset to obscure a representation of the face of the predetermined person in the image; and

providing, to a designated recipient of the designated digital asset, the authentication information and the redacted version of the designated digital asset and the provenance information.
